| "Development as Freedom (The Macat Library) Paperback" |
| "Amartya Sen uses his 1999 work Development as Freedom to evaluate the processes and outcomes of economic development Having come to the conclusion that development is best summed up as the expansion of freedom Sen examines traditional definitions and understandings of the term He says people tend to think of freedoms as economic (the freedom to enter into market exchanges) or political (the freedom to vote and be an active citizen) and tries to understand why the definition has been so narrow hitherto He concludes that an evaluation of true freedom must necessarily include the freedom to access social services such as healthcare sanitation and nutrition just as much as it must acknowledge economic and political freedoms Evaluating the relevance of the current thinking behind development Sen concludes that the term ‘freedom’ cannot simply be about income In many ways measuring income does not account for various “unfreedoms” (manmade or natural bars to wellbeing) that hinder development Sen’s evaluation is all the more powerful for its clarity "The freedom-centered perspective has a generic similarity to the common concern with "quality of life""

| "Gender and the Politics of History" |
| "Joan Scott's work has influenced several generations of historians and helped make the topic of gender central to the way in which the discipline is taught and studied today At root a new way of conceptualizing capitalist societies Scott's theories suggest that gender is better understood as a social construct than as a biological fact Scott's original contribution to the debate however stems in her use of the critical thinking skill of analysis to understand how the arguments of earlier generations of historians were built in order to fully grasp both their structure and the assumptions that underpinned them From there Scott was able to use problem-solving to resolve the issues that emerged from her analysis asking productive questions focused on better ways to build a model capable of explaining the historical phenomenon of gender difference Scott answered these questions by introducing models created by deconstructionist scholars - notably Jacques Derrida who challenged the idea that any term or concept has a stable or dependable meaning rooted in material reality She was able in consequence to refute that idea that gender inequality is the natural (hence justifiable) consequence of biological sexual differences and issue a fundamental challenge to the capitalist system itself"
